My suggestion would be to try posting on the Bird Forum. http://www.birdforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=114 Be sure to say where you found it.

That is strange. Not only is there no Tree sparrows in that part of Montana, is Tree sparrow has a dark upper bill and light below and the House sparrow has a dark bill and this bird has a pale bill. Otherwise it does look like a Tree x House hybrid

It certainly does! Maybe someone else on PN knows a little more about this.
